Answered simply.
Is sustainable architecture a genuine career track or a marketing label?
A genuine and growing one — regulations and certifications created real roles. The course shows which skills those roles actually require.
Do I need to master energy simulation software first?
No. Career positioning comes first; you'll learn which tools matter for which roles and when to invest in them.
Do I need any prior experience?
No. Every course starts from where you are and builds up step by step, in plain language.
Is this software training?
No — software changes yearly. The thinking you learn here lasts a career.
How does it work?
Short video lessons with a small practice task after each. Any device, your pace.
